INQUIRY

Turangawaewae


Our class did inquiry in groups on the following questions:
  • What makes me special
  • What makes our whanau special
  • What makes Riverslea School Special
Each group took the following steps:
  1. A brainstorm using inspiration on IPADS
  2. Then did "Te Mahi" group poster on information for their question
  3. Then using Comic life on IPAdS collated information
  4. Groups then shared work done with senior students in the school for their reflection
  5. Then students completed an individual assessment of the Inquiry experience for them
Student reflection:
Voice of Kawhiti- I found inquire hard ,but I did like some parts of inquiry especially typing up the inquires on the iPads ,I liked the topic what made me special because it was easy and fun ,it was fun it made me work harder and faster I enjoyed doing work with my group because it was easy and we could share the work load ,I would like to keep doing inquires .

Wednesday 2 July:

We had Nan and Papa day… The school welcomed them and sang some waiata…
Then they came to our classrooms to present our “Duffy Books”… They then had a hangi for lunch

Kawiti thoughts:
It was neat having Nan and Papa coming to visit they liked the feed.
